The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 establishes the need to compliment scientific knowledge in disaster risk management with Indigenous Local Knowledge (ILK). Past studies have demonstrated that difficulties arise whenever the attempts of mainstreaming or integrating ILK into authorities’ knowledge. This study seeks to show integration between ILK and authorities that happen on the ground during flood risk management. In this study, a case study takes place where the Orang Asli represents the Indigenous community, the Malay represents local communities, and the authorities represent the organization in managing the flood risk in the Pekan district of Pahang state in Malaysia. Five respondents from each of the stakeholders were interviewed using open-ended question. The results demonstrate the ILK and authorities’ flood risk and knowledge management and how the knowledge integration between authorities and Indigenous as well as the local happens on the ground.
